Sidestep 18

Friday March 13

“So how was the daaate?” Sunset groaned as she finished sliding her dress down past her hips, the playful yet wholly condescending tone of Mother Charity’s voice wafting through the air as the woman shut the door to Sunset’s bedroom behind her.

“If you continue on with that question than I am liable to deck you clean out.” Sunset growled as she kicked the clingy dress away from her as her hands shifted down to her rear. “God, are there any marks down there? I swear I’ve never seen someone kiss my ass so hard!”

“Ha! Well at least he took you out to a movie, right?” Mother Charity said as she picked up the dress, gingerly uncrumpling it before slinging it over the top of Sunset’s bar stool.

“And a hell of a dinner, too!” Sunset unhooked the clasps of her bra, turning and flinging it against the wall. “He spent the entire time showering me with praise and saying that he wanted to take me away so that I’d never leave his sight!”

“You do have a tendency to attract the weird ones, don’t you?” the woman had come over and gently patted the girl on the back.

“Why haven’t I asked him to be banned from the house yet?” Sunset pulled away and flopped face first onto her bed, groaning even harder into her pillow as she rubbed her face back and forth. Makeup be damned! She needed to get this night out of her head!

“Because he pays thrice your rate, that’s why.” Sunset felt her bed shift as Mother Charity sat down on the edge. “Now, where did he take you?”

“To that Prench place-”

“On the edge of town!? That’s place’s pricing is beyond exorbitant!” Mother Charity sounded amazed as she playfully swatted at Sunset. “I swear I could take every cent he has ever paid and I would still be unable to even pay the cover charge!”

“The staff that were forced to notice me gave me looks that made it seem like I was below even dirt!” Sunset rolled over, her face a mess of makeup from her rolling back and forth.

“Awww, poor baby…”

“And when I tried to order a salad! It’s like they’ve never heard of someone being a vegetarian!” Sunset flailed around uselessly.

“With they way you look, honey?” Sunset glared up at the scoffing woman. “How many damn protein shakes do you drink?”

“This is all courtesy of hard work, thank you very much!” Mother Charity erupted into a fit of melodic tittering as Sunset stuck her tongue out at her.

“Sure, sure… Now what about the movie?”

“Get out!” Mother Charity ducked as Sunset started to hurl her pillows in her direction.
